Waiting 23 weeks on my first unemployment payment (update)

I was laid off as a sales associate and filed right away, and I have been certifying every week. I have been trying to stay organised about it. I answered every question and uploaded my final pay stub. Is there a step I could have missed?

Mine took about 23 weeks because of an identity check I did not notice. Look for a message or a letter you may have missed in your online account.
